Zaniol's exhibition calls into question three British influential art personalities Hirst, Emin and Perry and compares them to luxury fashion brands.
The show, a parody advertising campaign showcases the launch of three perfumes as if they had been commissioned by these three luxury 'fashion houses'. The perfume bottles and their fragrances, reference each of the artist's brand essence.
Brand Art Sensation: a Mass Debate
A solo exhibition and public forum parodying celebrity art and luxury branding by Giulia Zaniol.
The show, taking place at Gallery Different, Fitzrovia calls into question three of Britain's most influential art personalities; Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Grayson Perry and how they have blurred the lines between luxury labels and fine art.
Zaniol has developed a brand name for each one - Diamonds & Heist, Eminent and Miss Clair and created special fragrances and sculptures of perfume bottles that reflect her interpretation of each artist's 'brand essence'. The parody follows celebrity brand endorsement and upmarket retail models. Luxury brands associate themselves with the A-list to appear exclusive; similarly these artists use their celebrity status to enhance their artworks' allure. Most of the profit made by upmarket brands comesfrom the sale of accessories and perfumes, which are the few affordable goods available to the masses. Zaniol theorises the transformation of high art and artists entrepreneurship into luxury ventures exaggerating the commerciality of contemporary art with her fragrances.
The launch of Brand Art Sensation will be supported by a series of billboards, shown both as part of the exhibition and across the streets of London. These "ads", along with a social media strategy and spoof video adverts, will ask the public to join a debate at www.zaniol.com/mass-debate , discussing luxury art and the emergence of the celebrity-seeking 'artist-entrepreneur'.
Zaniol comments; "I was struck by the evident similarities and intertwining nature of artist celebrity 'labels' belonging to the high art market and luxury fashion brands. I have been acting as an artist entrepreneur myself for this project, and we [artists] have now more opportunities than ever, but I am concerned about the Neo-capitalist approach and its soulless commodity investment market and how it is effecting the art world: not everything about it is good. Therefore I wanted to open a debate on these very complex aspects and hear what the public has to say."

From Michelle. October 5, 2011.
Dear friends and family,
We have now been in the Philippines for two months. The tide of details that inundated us has now receded. Directly following my last update a virus took me in its grip and would not loose me for almost four weeks. Ironically, it provided perspective. I simply could not accomplish the things that needed to be accomplished and quickly what was necessary became merely optional. I was miserable and exhausted which quickly led me to the feet of Jesus. As the illness dragged on, compassion arose for those I know struggling with cancer, old age, and prolonged hospitalization. I knew myself to be fortunate. I "practiced the presence" and "put on perspective".
I was struck by how often I would busy myself and forget that God was there. Never intrusive, it is easy to shut him out. When I allowed my imagination to embrace what was real, I knew limitless grace in the room. And yet even in my pitiful, inconsequential suffering, I rarely availed myself of the riches a mere heartbeat away. It was the treasure hidden in the trivial, the bread for my hungry hours. And yet I often did worse than to refuse it; I forgot it. This humbling realization alone was a gift fashioned from those weary hours. I am stumbling into a deeper, heartfelt desire for the experience of Brother Lawrence: "There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God."
Steve and I have both pressed deeply into God these months. Yesterday, our worst fears were confirmed when a physical therapist noted that Steve's walking ability has deteriorated. As if to punctuate this discovery, Steve suffered his first real fall that evening. The children and I were hiding and giggling, planning to surprise him as he walked through the door, only to hear a thud and find him lying on the floor. Fortunately, he was not badly injured, but such falls present a real danger. Steve is unable to catch himself the way an able-bodied person would, and so he falls with great weight and little protection. An injury would present a significant setback as it would hamper deeply needed therapy.
In ways both large and small, we are living the verses Steve will be preaching in coming weeks: "Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also be patient, for the coming of the Lord is at hand… As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remain steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful." James 5:7-8, 10-11.
Among still unpacked boxes, when my illness dragged on, and most notably in Steve's setbacks, I have heard the whisper: be patient. It is spoken with all compassion. It is spoken with promise. It emanates from love and light. And yet it requires something of me. To surrender to the moment, though I want it to pass. To trust for healing, though healing is unreasonable. To hope for the future, though hope might hurt. To still my soul though it clamors for resolution. Be patient.
The wheelchair still sits in the driveway. We have often debated getting rid of it. But the reality is that we have not yet been able to rule out the possibility that Steve will need it again one day. I do not believe this to be so. And yet it is a fresh and daily reminder of our need, as well as of his mercy. The verse commands patience. It applauds steadfastness in suffering. But it ends this way: "The Lord is compassionate and merciful." Grace and love are always here. Water pours out unendingly to quench our thirst. If only we can pause long enough to drink.
An old hymn says it best:
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Chris Lockwood, Ph.D., President, Lockwood LLC spoke at the 2018 Protein Trends & Technologies Seminar – Technical Program: Formulating with Proteins. His presentation was titled "Formulating with Whey in a Transparent Market."
As consumer trends dismantle the use of proprietary blends and regulators take aim at protein claims, formulators and brands need to evolve in their use of protein if they're to stay ahead of their competition. The presentation discussed why whey is and will remain the protein leader, according to Lockwood. It went on to review when to use different WPCs, WPIs, or any number of degrees of hydrolysate and forms of WPH. Additional information covered when a formulator should combine proteins; why you need to throw-out the thinking that proteins differ only because of their amino acid profiles and speed of absorption. Lockwood touched on what's on the horizon for new discoveries in protein efficacy.
Click the link to read a summary of his presentation titled "Maximizing Benefits: Whey Protein Formulations." An extract from this summary is as follows: "Whey protein [for sports nutrition] is most often classified in one of three ways: As whey protein concentrates (WPC), whey protein isolates (WPI) or whey protein hydrolysates (WPH). Filtration and other purification processes are used to produce WPC and WPI, with WPI containing 90% or higher total protein. The final composition of WPH is influenced by enzymes and reaction conditions used, as well as the number of available bonds that are broken. Generally speaking, the greater the degree of hydrolysis (DH), the smaller the number of amino acids per peptide molecule and the more challenging the taste issues."

This new site helps design engineers learn more about the different types of programmable logic technology and identify the ideal components for particular applications. Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) vary from simple combinations of digital logic integrated on one chip to Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The hardware devices can be designed into any logical function where an Application Specific IC (ASIC) could be used and have the ability to update their functionality after production making a single device suitable for multiple applications. Mouser's Programmable Logic Technology site serves as an introductory resource center for PLD technology. The site spotlights some of the industry's latest high-performance programmable logic devices, including Altera's Cyclone® V System-on-Chip FPGA and MAX® V CPLD. Featured articles on the site take an in-depth look at some of the advantages offered by designing with PLDs. Mouser delves into how flexible PLD solutions allow designers to develop highly integrated, custom application-specific SoCs, from simple combinational logic to full system-level designs. The Technical Resources section of the Programmable Logic site houses embedded videos, application notes, and other documents organized by manufacturer and by application. Featured applications include automotive, broadcast, computer and storage, medical, military, wireless, and more. "The numerous advantages offered by Programmable Logic technology have made these semiconductor products an increasingly popular choice for design engineers," explains Kevin Hess, Mouser's Vice President of Technical Marketing. "Mouser provides designers with the newest PLDs to speed development of high-performance designs. This technology site promotes innovation by helping customers quickly and easily identify the right PLD for their new designs. With its vast depth and wide breadth of information and resources, this technology site serves as a valuable source for gaining product expertise and getting a design project up and running."

I received a bio questionnaire from a magazine to which I am contributing, a bunch of "what's your favorite line from a song" etc etc kind of questions and right this very moment, I am tempted to answer them all compulsively with this joyous song about an art school girl with an A1 body and a face to match. On this song, Stuart Murdoch titrates the essence of T. Rex, Bowie and Paul Weller and mixes it with rum-filled jellybeans and serves it in an oversized martini glass as you and your secret crush have playful sex in a sun-dappled student apartment in the middle of the afternoon.

What is Substitution
Because substitute urine is real urine, there are very few indicators labs can use to identify its origin. Even hormone differences that might indicate differences between male and female urine are subtle and generally not performed by drug testing labs.
Substitution is really as simple as it sounds: substituting your urine sample with urine from someone else. If your workplace takes a very relaxed policy on collecting urine samples for drug testing and you have a trustworthy friend who is also drug free and willing to cooperate, urine substitution can be a very effective way to pass a drug test.
Finding someone who you can trust to help you out can be a challenge, especially when it comes time to collect the sample. This is why a number of commercial solutions are ready to help. Substitute urine is usually sold in one of two forms: frozen or powdered / dehydrated. The advantage to buying substitute urine is that it usually comes with supplies to help you beat a test even under observation.
Can labs detect substitute urine?
Because substitute urine is real urine, there are very few indicators labs can use to identify its origin. Even hormone differences that might indicate differences between male and female urine are subtle and generally not performed by drug testing labs.
The main red flag for substitute urine is temperature. If the collector receives a sample that is cold or too hot, it is likely that your sample will be rejected and you may be required to provide another sample under close observation. This is why urine suppliers often provide a heating element and temperature strip: so that you can be sure the sample you provide is a natural temperature.
Does urine substitution work under supervision?
Fortunately, providing a urine sample while being watched is usually just as awkward for the collector as it is for you. This gives you some wiggle room that makes substitution, even under supervision, possible. Commercial offerings may include an IV tube or prosthesis to help with urine sample collection while being watched.
The most important thing to keep in mind when providing a urine sample while being watched is to remain calm. If you are using an unfamiliar product, it is best to try it first at home to be sure you understand and are comfortable using the product. If you are using a frozen product, you need to know how long it takes to thaw and warm to body temperature. If using a dehydrated product, be sure you know how much water to add and how much time you need to prepare. Rest assured, other than completely abstaining from any drug use, urine substitution is your best chance of beating a drug test!

The Tennessee Titans' 2022 schedule was released on Thursday night, so we now know exactly when the Titans will play each of their 14 opponents for this upcoming season, including the Philadelphia Eagles and A.J. Brown.
Tennessee will have a total of four prime-time games, which is just one shy of the limit for teams in a single season. The Titans had three prime-time contests last season.
Two of those prime-time games will take place on Thursday nights (Week 11 at Green Bay Packers, Week 17 vs. Dallas Cowboys), while the other two will be on Monday (Week 2 at Buffalo Bills) and Sunday night (Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs).
Tennessee's bye will fall in Week 6, which is a bit early but better than the COVID-19-induced Week 4 bye they had in 2020.
With all that said, here's a look at the games on the Titans' recently revealed 2022 schedule that we're most excited to see during the upcoming season.
Sure, this one doesn't have many interesting storylines outside of Adoree' Jackson's return to Nashville, but it's hard not to be excited about the very first game of any season.
This is a measuring stick game for Tennessee, as the Bills figure to be one of the elite teams in the AFC in 2022. The Titans have won each of the last two meetings between these teams, so the Bills will be out for revenge.
We'll also get to see two former Titans in their new home after both Rodger Saffold and David Quessenberry, two of Tennessee's offensive line starters from 2021, signed with Buffalo in free agency.
Adding a cherry on top is the fact that this game will be in prime time on "Monday Night Football."
The Titans will begin their two-game set against the Matt Ryan-led Colts in Week 4 at Indy, and then the final game will occur in Nashville in Week 7.
As we pointed out in our takeaways article, this is again horrible scheduling by the NFL.
It boggles the mind why the league puts both games between the two favorites for the AFC South so close together and so early in the season.
Nevertheless, the Titans and Colts will battle it out for the division title all season long, and these two games could determine who wins it. And, with a crowded AFC, this might be the only path to the playoffs for both teams.
This will be the first time the Titans travel to Kansas City since their 2019 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs. Adding to that, this will be another measuring stick game for the Titans in prime time.
Tennessee has won each of the last two regular season meetings with Kansas City, including an easy 27-3 victory over Patrick Mahomes and Co. in 2021.
This will be the first time the Titans meet Russell Wilson as a member of the Broncos. Tennessee and Wilson last met in 2021 when he was still a member of the Seattle Seahawks in an overtime game the Titans won in exciting, comeback fashion, 34-31.
There is nothing that can fully ease the pain of the Titans' divisional round loss to the Bengals last season, but there's no doubt Tennessee has this game circled on its calendar and is hoping to serve a cold plate of revenge.
The Titans' thirst for pay back against the Bengals dates back to 2020, as Joe Burrow and Co. has won each of its last two meetings with Tennessee.
A.J. Brown will be making his first appearance against his former team in Week 13 when Tennessee travels to Philly to take on the Eagles. The only thing that could have made this storyline better is if the Eagles were coming to Nashville, but that won't stop this game from having a ton of extra juice.
Like the Broncos, the Chargers have made vast improvements to their roster during the offseason, and still have one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL in Justin Herbert.
On top of all that, the Titans and Chargers could very well be battling for a wild card spot in 2022, so this game might be vital.
You'd have to go all the way back to 2014 for the last meeting in Nashville between the Titans and Cowboys. The two teams last played in 2018 in Dallas, a game the Titans won, 28-14.
Adding to the intrigue of the Cowboys coming to town is the fact that this game is in prime time and could have serious playoff implications for both teams with the contest being so late in the season.

My Experience: Here's Why A 1480 SAT Didn't Assist My Personal Admissions Chances
This is actually the basic article in College Confidential's latest ability where we display the admissions trip through the college student's viewpoint. If you wish to display the SAT, work or admissions feel, let us know! Contact information is located at the base of this particular article.
All of us have highs and lows in their college or university admissions techniques, but i'm discussing my facts because I think it had considerably "downs" than the expectations and I also need to pass along the thing I might have complete differently. Hopefully it will also help guide some students who are merely beginning or possess some distress about how exactly the procedure should work. As an introduction to my situation, i'm currently finishing my personal year that is senior of school, and I also've already received conclusion from almost all of the six universities whenever I used.
A Good Begin
We got the SAT early in my personal junior season, with intends to utilize that to be standard and then learn a small bit, immediately after which go on it 1 or 2 most days. This was the plan that I read during the no-cost college admissions seminar we went to within my twelfth grade, which was simply the sole suggestions I experienced about admissions while I begun the procedure. My personal mothers did not visit college and I am the earliest of my siblings. My personal twelfth grade is just a huge public-school where Really don't bring much face to manage opportunity using my therapist.
I became astonished to learn that I got a 1480 on that first SAT test. Which was pretty much above the average from the six schools that were back at my checklist, thus I decided I didn't need to take it once more. Following are colleges that were to my list.
– Virginia Tech
– Penn County
– University of Delaware
– New York Condition
– Virginia Commonwealth Institution
– University of college-application-essay.org Maryland
We often have expected how I developed my personal university list, and so I'll communicate that as well. Initial, I will mention that I get in-state tuition in every single condition because of my mothers' military solution. On top of that, my moms and dads just need us to connect with institutes in a particular radius of where they stay so travel expenditures will not be that highest. I checked out a fairly few institutes and the ones over are those We liked the very best, to make certain that's the way I selected them.
Standard Decision Round
Although I really could bring applied in the early game at a colleges on my listing, I made the decision to wait patiently until Christmas time break to send my personal applications. We worked full time during the summer before my older season of twelfth grade, and then I'd a schedule that is crazy of elder year. Thus I set aside xmas split for my solutions, and I managed to send anything before we went back to college in January. When I'm sure my guy candidates would consent, I was grateful is through with everything!
I received login details for several of my software websites and that I logged into them a few times to be certain my software was indeed got. We contacted my therapist about delivering my transcripts, right after which I basically dove into my new session of high school.
The Bomb Dropped
Across the next few days of March, I obtained a contact from a for the institutes. ( From this point forward, I am not going to mention the precise institutes that notified/didn't tell me personally because I am on the waitlist at one school and I also don't want to expose my personal choice details). The email were to inform me personally to check my portal "immediately." I found that the school had not received my SAT scores when I did so. We straight away sensed a sense of panic and examined all of my different websites to get that NOTHING with the education got was given my SATs. And after some examination, I realized the reasons: we never sent all of them.
Very long story short, I thought that when I got the SAT back in nov my personal junior 12 months, we got done the design to deliver my SATs with the education automatically. It ended up that during the minute that is last I would decided not to do this in case my personal score weren't up to I would expected. But in the amount of time span between my SAT and my programs ( over a , I had forgotten that detail and the schools never received them, and it was my fault year.
The following day, I contacted every school and told all of them how it happened, and said I'd end up being sending the scores that day. One school mentioned that I was too-late. The other five said i really could send them but they really mentioned they mayn't assure such a thing. So the rush was paid by me price and had the SATs delivered, and going the process of are very exhausted. At a period of this writing, i've gotten at least one approval, a minumum of one denial and a waitlist decision — plus, I continue to have a choice yet to arrive. Thus I wanted to pass along my two cents for students who are planning applications for next fall as I wait for final word.
Beginning Very Early!
My personal tip that was biggest is to start out very early. If I hadn't waited until January to use, i might n't have sensed therefore crunched for some time and it's possible that i mightn't have produced this careless error of forgetting to deliver my SATs. Wanting to put six solutions right into a 10-day college break was not my personal wisest idea. In my opinion part of the issue got that my 1480 SAT gave me a untrue sense of security in exactly my personal conclusion would turn out, but that may need harm me personally after, because I applied late, did not follow through and failed to always check my sites thoroughly.
Although it's really important to focus on schoolwork elderly 12 months, it's also advisable to directly see the job processes and not treat it such as an afterthought. We positively will have altered a lot of things about how exactly I completed my personal admissions if I could, thus I wish other pupils learn from my problems. All the best along with your applications please remember to start early and follow up!

Some employers may believe that because the employer mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been delayed until January 1, 2015, they face no new requirements under the law until that date. Not true! While large companies (over 50 full-time employees) have been given an extra year (until 1/1/15) to provide health insurance to their employees, employers are still required under ACA to notify employees about their options
What is an Employer's Obligation to Notify Employees about Affordable Care Act?
The Affordable Care Act adds a new provision to the Fair Labor Standards Act, mandating that employers provide notification — in writing — to their employees: Informing the employee of the existence of the Marketplace (referred to in the statute as the Exchange) including a description of the services provided by the Marketplace, and the manner in which the employee may contact the Marketplace to request assistance; If the employer

Patent Litigation and Evidence Collection During the Pandemic
The second panel will explore recent developments in patent claim construction in the US and Japan, in particular the diverging developments in relation to the doctrine of equivalents. While the Grand Bench of the Intellectual Property High Court in Japan may have re-invigorated the doctrine in its 2016 Maxacalcitol decision, the Federal Circuit in the US has appeared to take a more cautious approach; for example, in its 2019 decision in Amgen v. Sandoz, the Federal Circuit held that the doctrine applies only in exceptional cases. Federal Circuit Chief Judge Prost and IP High Court Presiding Judge Mori will discuss the background to these developments with leading experts from US and Japanese academia and practice.

People seek out psychological services for a wide variety of reasons. If you are not quite sure what you might need, or you are looking some advice on what to do next, I recommend a consultation. Consultations are typically to one to three sessions and can be used to consider if a diagnosis may be appropriate, if testing is needed, which treatments or interventions might be useful, and if there are other therapeutic disciplines that could be helpful.
If you already know that you would like to start psychotherapy, we will start by scheduling one session to discuss your concerns and needs. We will make a determination at that point if I am a good match for you and if we would like to work together.
Whether intervention is clinically recommended or you are seeking support for your own personal growth, therapy can be helpful. In many cases a short course of counseling can address targeted problems effectively. In other cases a longer term psychotherapy may be recommended or desired. After an initial meeting together I can give you a good idea about the likely length of therapy and which interventions would be appropriate for your individual situation.
I work with children age 10 and up and adolescents. I provide individual psychotherapy, which is often combined with parent coaching for children and some teens. I do not provide family psychotherapy .
When working with children and adolescents I may use behavioral modification, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy for anxiety, parent coaching, insight oriented therapy, play based therapy or a combination of these methods.
When working with adults (age 18+) I provide individual therapy. I may use cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, existential therapy or short term psychodynamically oriented therapy depending upon what would best meet your needs and your preferences. In some cases we may also use behavioral modification techniques in conjunction with a helpful family member or friend.
I also offer long term psychodynamic therapy to adults who are seeking a deep understanding of their own history, patterns of behavior, relationship problems and self regulation problems. Psychodynamic therapy is a talking therapy based on the idea that thoughts and feelings that we may not be aware of can cause problems like those listed above. This is because one way that we all deal with painful emotions and experiences is to put them out of our mind; for them to be unconscious. But even if we are not consciously thinking about them, those thoughts and feeling affect our every day life and behavior. In this type of therapy it is common to meet more than once a week. If this is a style of therapy you are interested in please ask about it and we will discuss whether it is a good fit for you.
Initial phone discussion up to 15 minutes to determine if I can provide the services you are looking for is free. Please feel free to call anytime at 720-591-4664.
Sessions are 50 minutes and $195 per session. Additional services for ongoing clients such as advocacy on your behalf to your school, consultation with other providers, report writing or care coordination work is provided at prorated psychotherapy rates per 15 minute chunk.
I do not accept any insurance plans or single case agreements with insurance companies. However, I am happy to provide you with a superbill that you cant submit to your insurance for out of network coverage or HSA plan for reimbursement.
I am a Medicaid provider for regions 6 and 7, but I have an extremely long waitlist for Medicaid clients. If you or your child have Medicaid you must disclose this and you are not able to self pay for therapy. It is reccomended that anyone with Medicaid pursue therapy through your County Mental Health Center or Community Center Board instead.

La administración entrante del ex director de presidios Alejandro Giammattei amenaza con profundizar la desestabilización en una región sumida en crisis.
The incoming administration of former prison director Alejandro Giammattei threatens further destabilizing a region already in disarray.
Contrary to its name, the Safe Third Country Agreement continues a legacy of exploitation for Indigenous and working class peoples in Central America.
The results of the first round of Guatemala's presidential elections illustrate that four years of political and electoral reforms have yielded only limited, fragile gains. Though both candidates have disavowed the CICIG, they represent different sides of the ideological spectrum.
Violence and political maneuvering have marred the lead up to Guatemala's elections as some candidates attempt to delegitimize the electoral process. Amid the chaos, left-wing parties may have most to lose.
A note on Guatemalan president Jimmy Morales' dissolution of the country's groundbreaking anti-impunity commission
The International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) has revealed $2 million in illegal campaign financing in the 2015 election of President Jimmy Morales. What will it mean for the country's anti-corruption movement?
As the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) furthers its investigations into political corruption, the elite political class attempts to shield itself from accountability to the people.
The unprecedented success of Guatemala's anti-corruption protests surprised everyone. But this success has not yet translated to the ballot box.
Guatemala's President-elect Jimmy Morales, despite campaigning as the antithesis of a career politician, is backed by the same forces that carried out some of the worst crimes in the country's history.

The pound traded higher versus the dollar for much of Tuesday's trading session. However, towards the close of the day, the dollar picked up. This meant that the pound US dollar exchange rate ended the session close to even, in the region of US$1.3250.
What do these figures mean? |
When measuring the value of a pair of currencies, one set equals 1 unit and the other shows the current equivalent. As the market moves, the amount will vary from minute to minute. For example, it could be written: 1 GBP = 1.28934 USD Here, £1 is equivalent to approximately $1.29. This specifically measures the pound's worth against the dollar. If the US dollar amount increases in this pairing, it's positive for the pound. Or, if you were looking at it the other way around: 1 USD = 0.77786 GBP In this example, $1 is equivalent to approximately £0.78. This measures the US dollar's worth versus the British pound. If the sterling number gets larger, it's good news for the dollar. |
Early on, pound traders cheered news that the UK service sector grew more than what analysts had expected in September. The news was particularly encouraging for traders after weak UK data from the manufacturing and construction sectors earlier in the week. However, despite the solid headline number for the service sector, there were a few areas of concern. These concerns stemmed from the fact that new order volume in the service sector was at its lowest for a year, and that business confidence remains at a 6-year low due to uncertainty caused by Brexit. Therefore, the pound rallied following the release, however these lingering issues of concern prevented the rally from really taking off.
Why does strong economic data boost a country's currency? |
Solid economic indicators point to a strong economy. Strong economies have strong currencies because institutions look to invest in countries where growth prospects are high. These institutions require local currency to invest in the country, thus increasing demand and pushing up the money's worth. So, when a country or region has good economic news, the value of the currency tends to rise. |
The UK economic calendar is very light today, so investors could continue to deal with UK Prime Minister Theresa May's speech at the Conservative Party Conference. There was little substance to the speech to drive pound trading; and with no real mention of Brexit, the pound was trading only marginally lower towards the end. It seems that the speech could stand out more for issues concerning how it was delivered than anything else, which could continue to keep doubts over May's leadership ability alive.
Dollar loses its fizz despite strong US data
The dollar initially eased back on Wednesday as reports surfaced that Fed Governor Jerome Powell was more likely to be the favourite candidate to replace Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen when her term finishes in February next year. Between the two candidates, Jerome Powell or Kevin Warsh, Powell is considered by most to be the more "dovish" or more conservative of the two candidates. This means, should he get the role, he could look to slow the pace of interest rate hikes down. This weighed on the sentiment for the dollar.
Why do raised interest rates boost a currency's value? |
Interest rates are key to understanding exchange rate movements. Those who have large sums of money to invest want the highest return on their investments. Higher interest rate environments tend to offer higher yields. So, if the interest rate or at least the interest rate expectation of a country is relatively higher compared to another, then it attracts more foreign capital investment. Large corporations and investors need local currency to invest. More local currency used then boosts the demand of that currency, pushing the value higher. |
The Powell-inspired slump in the dollar was capped by another round of strong US economic data. The US service sector grew at its strongest pace for 12 years. Meanwhile the private sector added 135,000 new jobs, ahead of the 125,000 jobs that city analysts had forecasted. Attention will now turn to jobless claims and US factory orders, ahead of the all-important US jobs report on Friday.

I put this ingredient under the category "Stocks/Broth" because that is how I use it in some sauces and stews. The alcohol evaporates while cooking, leaving just the flavor enhancement as needed when included. I buy cooking wines in the grocery store, such as Holland House by label. Though many serious cooks would frown on this, taste is the test, and the results get very high marks in our experience.

My work combines a range of different techniques in structural geology and petrology to understand how subduction zones and domains of continental collision develop. I am particularly interested in the links between metamorphism and deformation and how this information can be used in combination with information from other fields, such as seismology, to approach problems such as defining mantle flow patterns and understanding the processes controlling slow earthquakes.

text: Dead Like Me, that is. Very cool feel-good black comedy. It's "black" only because it's about so called grim reapers, who quite literally live among us. They are the dead living, as opposed to the zombies that scare us as the living dead. They are dead, but retain most of their corporeal constraints � one happily missing constraint is hangovers after a night of heavy drinking — and their work is to "reap" the souls of the dead, though not for any apparent purpose. So, they need money, food, a home, etc.; and they fall in love and are heartbroken when it's not reciprocated. They are, in other words, dead but not departed. They remain connected to the lives they left behind. Not a bad thing to wake up to on your DVR, sipping your morning chai. I'd call it Existential Heaven.

text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Annotate Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ Caustic esophageal injury occurs from accidental (usually children) or deliberate (suicidal) ingestion of liquid or crystalline alkali (drain cleaners, etc) or acid. Ingestion is followed almost immediately by severe burning and varying degrees of chest pain, gagging, dysphagia, and drooling. Aspiration results in stridor and wheezing. Initial examination should be directed to circulatory status as well as assessment of airway patency and the oropharyngeal mucosa, including laryngoscopy. Patients without major symptoms (dyspnea, dysphagia, drooling, hematemesis) or oropharyngeal lesions have a very low likelihood of having severe gastroesophageal injury. All other patients initially should be hospitalized in an ICU. Chest and abdominal radiographs are obtained looking for pneumonitis or free perforation. Initial treatment is supportive, with intravenous fluids, intravenous PPIs to prevent gastric stress ulceration (pantoprazole or esomeprazole, 40 mg twice daily) and analgesics. Nasogastric lavage and oral antidotes may be dangerous and should generally not be administered. Laryngoscopy should be performed in patients with respiratory distress to assess the need for tracheostomy. Endoscopy is usually performed within the first 12–24 hours to assess the extent of injury, especially in patients with significant symptoms or oropharyngeal lesions. Many patients are discovered to have no mucosal injury to the esophagus or stomach, allowing prompt discharge and psychiatric referral. Patients with evidence of mild damage (edema, erythema, exudates or superficial ulcers) recover quickly, have low risk of developing stricture, and may be advanced from liquids to a regular diet over 24–48 hours. Patients with signs of severe injury—deep or circumferential ulcers or necrosis (black discoloration) have a high risk (up to 65%) of acute complications, including perforation with mediastinitis or peritonitis, bleeding, stricture, or esophageal-tracheal fistulas. These patients must be kept fasting and monitored closely for signs of deterioration that warrant emergency surgery with possible esophagectomy and colonic or jejunal interposition. A nasoenteric feeding tube is placed after 24 hours. Oral feedings of liquids may be initiated after 2–3 days if the patient is able to tolerate secretions. Neither corticosteroids nor antibiotics are recommended. Esophageal strictures develop in up to 70% of patients with serious esophageal injury weeks to months after the initial injury, requiring recurrent dilations. Endoscopic injection of intralesional corticosteroids (triamcinolone 40 mg) increases the interval between dilations. The risk of esophageal squamous carcinoma is 2–3%, warranting endoscopic surveillance 15–20 years after the caustic ingestion. + +Hoffman RS et al. Ingestion of caustic substances.

Almost all landslides in the Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya are triggered by rain and therefore one of STH's primary role over the years has been to monitor rainfall. In so doing, we check rainfall on the IMD AWS stations and also track rainfall on our own small network of automatic rainfall gauges (ARGs) which we have installed at 4 places - a fifth ARG will also be up and running by end of April2013 in Mangan (North Sikkim). The locations of our ARGs is shown in the map :-

ATLANTA (June 22, 2016) — NAPA Auto Parts parent Genuine Parts Co. (GPC) is making two acquisitions that will bolster its bottom line.
The Atlanta-based company has agreed to acquire Auto-Camping Ltd. and select assets within the Janitorial and Sanitation (Jan/San) business of Rochester Midland Corp. — two businesses that generate a combined approximately $70 million in annual revenues. Both agreements are expected to close on July 1, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, according to GPC.
Auto-Camping operates 20 locations across Canada and is a distributor of original equipment import parts in that country. It specializes in OE parts for European vehicles and sells to foreign repair specialists as well as original equipment dealers. GPC said the addition of Auto-Camping is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately $50 million (U.S.).
The Jan/San business supplies a variety of janitorial and sanitation accessories to more than 400 distributors primarily in North America. GPC said it plans to integrate this business into the impact products division of its S.P. Richards Co. subsidiary and its growing facilities and breakroom supplies product offerings. That business is expected to generate incremental annual revenues of approximately $20 million.
GPC President and CEO Paul Donahue said the two purchases represent "our ongoing commitment to accretive growth through targeted acquisitions. The purchase of Auto-Camping complements our Olympus Import Parts acquisition in the first quarter of 2016 and further expands our product offering and distribution capabilities in the fast growing import parts sector of the aftermarket.
"Our Jan/San investment supports our diversification strategy and growth initiatives at S.P. Richards. We are pleased to add both businesses to the GPC family and we look forward to their future contributions to the growth of the company."
GPC distributes automotive replacement parts in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australasia and also distributes industrial replacement parts in the U.S., Canada and Mexico through its Motion Industries subsidiary. S.P. Richards, the Office Products Group, distributes business products in the U.S. and Canada. GPC's Electrical/Electronic Group, EIS Inc., distributes electrical and electronic components throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
In 2015 Genuine Parts reported revenues of $15.3 billion.

US Defence Secretary James Mattis says reports America preparing to strike Iran are 'fiction'
US Defence Secretary James Mattis has described reports that America is preparing to strike Iran as "fiction".
Senior figures in the Turnbull Government told the ABC they believe the United States is prepared to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, perhaps as early as next month, and that Australia was poised to help identify possible targets.
Mr Mattis dismissed the reports at a press conference on Friday.
"I have no idea where the Australian news people got that information," he said.
"I'm confident it is not something that's being considered right now and I think it's a complete, frankly, it's fiction."
Mr Mattis's response echoes that of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said yesterday morning he had no reason to believe the US was preparing for a military confrontation.
"President Trump has made his views very clear to the whole world, but this story … has not benefited from any consultation with me, the Foreign Minister, the Defence Minister or the Chief of the Defence Force," he said.
The ABC has been told Australian defence facilities would likely play a role in identifying targets in Iran, as would British intelligence agencies.
However, a senior security source stressed there was a big difference between providing accurate intelligence and analysis on Iran's facilities, and being part of a "kinetic" mission.
"Developing a picture is very different to actually participating in a strike," the source said.
Other "Five Eyes" intelligence partners Canada and New Zealand would be unlikely to play a role.
The top-secret Pine Gap joint defence facility in the Northern Territory is considered crucial among the "Five Eyes" partners for its role in directing American spy satellites.
Analysts from the little-known spy agency Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation would also be expected to play a part, according to the source.
Government split on whether Trump's tweets are real threats
While some in the Turnbull Government firmly believe Mr Trump is prepared to use military force against Iran, others maintain it might be more bluster, given the consequence of conflict with Tehran might include unpredictable, dangerous responses in the Middle East.
Earlier this week, Mr Trump fired off an all-caps tweet directed at the Iranian President, seemingly warning of war:
He was responding to Mr Rouhani, who was quoted telling Iranian diplomats: "America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.
"Do not play with the lion's tail or else you will regret it," he said.
Mr Trump has since adjusted his rhetoric, suggesting Washington is ready to go back to the negotiating table with Tehran for a new nuclear deal.
"I withdrew the United States from the horrible one-sided Iran nuclear deal, and Iran is not the same country anymore," he told a convention in Kansas City.
"We're ready to make a deal."
Grappling with whether Mr Trump's Twitter missives should be believed has become a global quest — and not just his tweets about Iran or North Korea.
In response to the US President's all-caps tweet on Monday, a high-ranking Iranian army official told the ISNA news agency, a Tehran Government mouthpiece, that Mr Trump's threats were merely "psychological warfare".
General Gholam Hossein Gheibparvar, the chief of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard's volunteer Basij force, said Mr Trump "won't dare" take military action against Iran.
It was an assessment echoed by Iranian MP Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, who told Associated Press he doubted the escalating rhetoric would lead to a military confrontation.

Papers written by graduate students for Assistant Professor Patricia Sobczak's Public Administration 656 Fund Development for the Nonprofit Sector course.
Date of Submission
March 2017
There are many elements to consider when creating a culture of philanthropy. First, one must acknowledge the definition of philanthropy. Philanthropy is defined as "the practice of giving money and time to help make life better for other people" (Philanthropy, n.d., para 1). Although this is true, an organization which promotes a culture of philanthropy may view philanthropy as its broader definition of "an effort to promote human welfare" (Philanthropy, n.d., para 2). A culture of philanthropy is a newly perceived way for organizations to view the process of securing resources (Gibson, 2016). There are four components on which a culture of philanthropy is built. These include (1) shared responsibility for development, (2) integration and alignment with the organization mission, (3) focusing on fundraising as engagement, and (4) developing and sustaining strong donor relationships (Gibson, 2016). Barriers that may become apparent when trying to create a culture of philanthropy include the steadiness of big business philanthropy, and the lack of a concrete way to illustrate the culture's effectiveness. Such barriers convey why organizations who are creating, or transitioning to, a culture of philanthropy should employ a strategic change process. It is indicated that are five steps to promote a successful change process (Cummings & Worley, 2014). These steps include (1) motivating change, (2) creating a vision, (3) developing political support, (4) managing the transition, and (5) sustaining momentum (Cummings & Worley, 2014). Utilizing a strategic change process will create organizations in which the love of mankind is at the core of their philanthropic practices.

Forza Motorsport 6 adds Microtransaction System
Microtransactions are of course entirely optional and not offer anything unique or alter the gameplay of Forza Motorsport 6.
Before the release of Forza Motorsport 6, Microsoft confirmed that its work would include microtransactions driving at some point or another in the near future. Two months after its release on the platform of Xbox One, these microtransactions have come to the creation of Turn 10 Studios in the form of "tokens". What is it and what are these tokens? Basically, they are bargaining tokens that can be purchased with real money and then it can be turned into in-game credits. Each card has a value of 500 credits.
Thanks to them, users who cannot devote much time to the work of Turn 10 Studios or the more impatient can now unlock new cars, upgrades or Mod cards to alter the playing conditions. These microtransactions are ofcourse entirely optional and do not offer anything unique or alter the gameplay in Forza Motorsport 6. Infact you can lock in the options menu of the game from appearing in the main HUD of Forza Motorsport 6.
Atlast, we leave list of prices of the packs offered by Microsoft for those interested in them in UK pounds below:
- 100 Tokens – 79p
- 325 Tokens – £2.39
- 575 Tokens – £3.99
- 1,250 Tokens – £7.99
- 2,700 Tokens – £15.99
- 8,000 Tokens – £39.99
- 20,000 Tokens – £64.99

The conditioning of the pulping before flotation is an important operation in the flotation process, including the determination of the pulp density and the selection of the pulp conditioning method and other process factors.
1. Pulp density
Pulp density refers to the content of solid mineral particles in the pulp. There are usually two ways to express: (1) liquid-solid ratio, indicates the ratio of liquid to solid weight (or volume) in the pulp, sometimes also known as dilution; (2) percent solid content (%), indicates the percentage of solids by weight (or volume) in the pulp. Common flotation concentrations in flotation plants are listed in Table1.
Pulp density is an important process factor in the flotation process, which affects the following techno-economic indicators.
1. Recovery rate
In the flotation of various minerals, there is a clear regularity between pulp density and recovery. When the pulp is very thin, the recovery is low, and when the pulp density gradually increases, the recovery also gradually increases and reaches a maximum. After the optimum slurry density is exceeded, the recovery rate decreases again. This is due to the fact that too thick or too thin pulp will make the flotation machine inflatable conditions worse.
2. Concentrate quality
The general rule is that the quality of concentrate is higher when flotation is done in thinner slurries and decreases when flotation is done in thicker slurries.
3. The amount of chemical agents
In flotation, a certain density of chemicals must be maintained in the pulp in order to obtain good flotation index. Therefore, when the pulp is thicker, the density of chemicals in the liquid phase increases, and the amount of chemicals used to treat each ton of ore can be reduced; conversely, when the pulp is thinner, the amount of chemicals used to treat each ton of ore needs to be increased.
4. Capacity of flotation machine
As the density of the pulp increases, the capacity of the flotation machine (in terms of treatment capacity) can be increased.
5. Flotation time
When the pulp is thicker, the flotation time will be extended, which is beneficial to improve the recovery rate or increase the productivity of the flotation machine.
6. Water and electricity consumption
The thicker the slurry, the lower the water and electricity consumption will be when processing per ton of ore.
In actual production, the most suitable pulp density for flotation, in addition to the above factors, must also take into account the nature of the ore and the specific flotation conditions. The general principle is: flotation of large density, coarse size minerals, often with a thicker slurry; conversely, when flotation of small density, fine size and mud, with a thinner slurry; roughing operations with a thicker slurry, to ensure high recovery and save chemicals, selection with a thinner concentration, is conducive to improving the quality of the concentrate, sweeping the concentration of the operation by the roughing influence, generally do not control separately.
2. Pulp adjustment
The flotation process can only be carried out properly and efficiently if the slurry is properly conditioned before it enters the flotation process. In addition to conventional slurry conditioning schemes, there are also graded slurry conditioning and aerated slurry conditioning schemes.
1. Graded pulping
Different slurry conditions are required according to different grain grades. The slurry is graded into two or three branches according to the coarse and fine grading for slurry conditioning. The particle size limits of the grading can be determined by test. The following Figure illustrates a two-branch pulp adjustment scheme.
In the two-branch slurry solution, the agent is only added to the coarse sand part, and after the coarse sand slurry, the fine slime part is flushed into the coarse sand and flotation together with it. This solution is applicable to the case where the flotation activity of fine particles is higher than that of coarse particles, and the coarse particles need to increase the dosage or add other powerful collecting agents. In addition, the coarse grains require higher concentration of chemicals to be satisfied by grading and slurry adjustment. For example, the experience of graded slurry of lead-zinc ore proves that the concentration of yellowing agent in coarse grains is 7-10 times higher than the average value of conventional slurry, which has the advantage of ensuring effective flotation of coarse grains and improving selectivity.
2. Inflatable pulping
Using a variety of sulfide minerals in the inflatable agitation, the difference in the degree of surface oxidation, can expand the difference in their floatability, conducive to the next step of sorting. For example, the pulp of copper sulphide ore inflatable slurry proves that, before dosing inflatable slurry for 30 minutes, the magnetic pyrite and pyrite in the ore is oxidized, while chalcopyrite still maintains its original floatability. However, if the inflatable slurry time is too long, chalcopyrite will also be oxidized, forming iron hydroxide film on its surface and reducing the floatability; the separation of toxic sand and pyrite is also often done by inflating the slurry to oxidize the surface of the toxic sand to achieve the purpose of separation flotation.

12.4: Reactions Between Nucleophiles and Electrophiles
- Page ID
- 216023
As mentioned earlier, a good electrophile must be able to accommodate a new sigma bond between its electrophilic center and the nucleophile. When the electrophilic center is an atom with an incomplete octet, this is no problem.
For electrophiles containing polarized pi bonds such as carbonyl groups, at least one resonance form shows an atom with an incomplete octet.
resonance forms of acetone
You can use either resonance structure to write the reaction between the nucleophile and the electrophile. The following are acceptable representations of a nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion on acetone, but the second one makes it more apparent that the central carbon can take the extra bond.
Two acceptable representations of the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion on acetone using different resonance structures.
Sometimes the substrate has an electrophilic atom which is sp3-hybridized and already has a complete octet. In this case there are no pi electrons to displace as the new σ-bond forms. The nucleophile must displace another group as it bonds to the electrophile. The displaced group is called a leaving group. The leaving group can be displaced only if it leaves as a weak base, because weak bases are stable molecules that can take the electrons with them. In the following example, hydroxide ion is the attacking nucleophile. As it bonds to the sp3 electrophilic carbon, it must displace another group. The leaving group in this case is the bromine atom. It is a good leaving group because it leaves as bromide ion, which is a weak base and can take the electrons with it.
The reverse reaction, however, could not happen. Although bromide is a good nucleophile and methyl alcohol contains an electron deficient center (the carbon bonded to oxygen), the molecule does not contain a good leaving group. Hydroxide ion is a strong base, therefore it cannot be displaced by bromide.
Although the hydroxide ion is not a good leaving group, it is possible to do nucleophilic displacements on alcohols by protonating them with acid first. The protonated hydroxyl group is a potential water molecule, which is a weak base and therefore a good leaving group.
This approach has limitations. The most important is that the nucleophile must be a weak base, or it will prefer to react with the acidic protons. For all practical purposes, the only nucleophiles that can be used in this way are chloride and bromide ions. But this provides a good way to convert alcohols into primary, secondary, or tertiary chlorides and bromides.
Notice that in these case the reverse reaction can happen. Water is a good nucleophile and chloride and bromide are good leaving groups. One must isolate the product as it forms to keep it from reacting with water and go back to alcohol.
