Monetary Policy: The Best Case Scenario
Course Outline
Monetary Policy: The Best Case Scenario
Imagine that you're the Fed and monetary policy is your domain. The economy has been doing fine: inflation isn't too high, GDP is growing at a reasonable rate. But then something happens. Consumer confidence drops. The economy shrinks.
What do you do? This is a simple scenario, but choosing when and how to respond is still a complicated dance. Data quality, timing, and limited control all present big challenges when implementing monetary policy changes.
Let's say you make a decision to act and grow the money supply. What if you made the wrong choice? Depending on whether you under- or overshoot, the consequences could be fairly minor; or they could be huge. They could even lead to a severe recession.
In the video, we'll discuss the details of this scenario and how the Fed might respond. We'll take a look at how the responses affect the long- and short-run aggregate supply curves. You'll walk away with a better understanding of when and how the Fed intervenes on a broad level when the economy is in trouble.

Monetary policy looks easy, when it's just a matter of shifting some lines on a graph. But, in practice, it's considerably more difficult. Choosing the right tools -- and when, and how to use them -- is both an art and a science.
To illustrate the difficulties, let's look at a relatively easy scenario -- a negative shock to aggregate demand, driven by what John Maynard Keynes called "animal spirits" -- emotions and instincts, confidence and fear. Suppose that the economy has been growing at a rate of 3% per year, and the inflation rate is 7%. Now imagine the consumers -- they become more pessimistic. They borrow and spend less. Banks lend less. Entrepreneurs cut back on expansions, and they invest less. All of this causes a negative shock to aggregate demand. The AD curve shifts to the left.
Now notice that without an intervention, real GDP growth -- it's going to decrease, and the economy will move to point B. Now, in the long run, when fear recedes, we'll return to our steady-state growth level, but not without some sluggish growth and increased unemployment, or even a recession in the short run. Can the Fed... could it combat this sluggish growth with monetary policy? Yes! By increasing the growth rate of the money supply, the Fed could offset the negative aggregate demand shock. Looks great! Disaster avoided. If only it were so easy.
At least three issues make it difficult for the Fed to choose the right course of action at the right time. First -- the quality of the data. It takes time to gather and analyze good data on the economy. Sometimes, in the past, revisions to the data have occurred years after the actual events. But the Fed -- it can't wait for the revisions. It has to act now. Second -- timing. The Fed's actions take time to affect the economy, usually some 6 to 18 months after the fact. So, even if the Fed correctly identifies the problem and acts right away, the situation may have changed by the time that its policies begin to take effect.
And third -- control. The Fed's control of the money supply -- it's incomplete and imperfect. Many of its tools rely on other actors, such as banks. As we saw during the Great Recession, the banks -- they stopped lending like they normally do. So, some of the Fed's tools became less effective. So, what happens when the Fed doesn't get its policy just right? If the Fed undershoots, or doesn't stimulate the economy enough to offset the aggregate demand shock, then growth -- it'll still be sluggish in the short run, as the economy slowly adjusts back to the natural growth rate.
More problematic is when the Fed overshoots. When the Fed increases the money supply beyond what's needed, then the economy -- it can overheat. Sure, we may get some more real growth in the short run, but we're also going to get more inflation. Price signals become distorted. And it's difficult for the Fed to course-correct. In fact, if the inflation rate gets too high, the Fed will want to reduce the inflation rate -- a disinflation. But that too will likely cause unemployment. Many economists think that the Federal Reserve did overstimulate the economy in the 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, inflation was running away at over 13% a year. And Ronald Reagan was elected to the presidency in 1980, in part to change economic policy.
By 1983, the Federal Reserve, under cigar-chomping chairman Paul Volcker -- it had brought inflation down to 3%, but at the price of a very severe recession. So, the cost of stimulating the economy in the 1970s was very likely even more unemployment in the early 1980s. We'd sure like the Fed to hit the "just right," the "Goldilocks" amount of economic stimulation, but it's not easy. And remember -- this was the simple scenario, the easy scenario.
Next, we're going to examine a more difficult challenge -- the challenge the Fed faces when the economy experiences a negative real shock, and the long-run aggregate supply curve shifts.

How to Deal With Toddler Tantrums/
How to Deal With Toddler Tantrums
Toddler tantrums getting you down?
Overwhelmed by your toddler saying "no!" and "mine!" constantly?
Are you fully in the Terrible Twos (or maybe Threes)?
First of all, I feel for you. Truly. The toddler years can be so challenging as parents. On the one hand they are filled with the joy of watching your children express themselves in new and exciting ways, while on the other that expression has the potential to be annoying, overwhelming, and obnoxious. If you are feeling that way I want to tell you right here and right now: That's ok. You're ok. It is NORMAL to find toddler whining annoying. It is NORMAL to not want to hear the 56th tantrum of the day. It is NORMAL to want to hide in the bathroom with your phone to avoid being asked "Why?" for the 1,032nd time today.
The thing is, however, while your reaction is completely ok, and completely normal, we also have to remember that these behaviors that your child is displaying are all completely normal, developmentally appropriate, and even healthy. These behaviors all represent your toddler's burgeoning sense of self, of who they are in this world, of their wants and desires, and of those wants and desires being completely separate from yours. And they have a new found ability to express themselves in increasingly complex ways, while still lacking some very basic self-regulation skills. They are still acting and talking largely on impulse and when things get overwhelming, when their systems can't handle much else, they lose their last little bit of self control and meltdown.
In these moments, when they are asking why, when they are crying inconsolably over something that seems inconsequential to you, when they are boldly declaring their opinion or their defiance it can help to remember that this is EXACTLY what they are supposed to be doing right now. They are NAILING their developmental stage. And, the very best thing you can do in those moments is support them. When they ask why, acknowledge their curiosity and desire to know more and keep a conversation going. When they are crying, empathize and accept their emotions, whether you think they are reasonable or not. When they are demanding or defying, acknowledge their desires while gently coaching a more socially acceptable response.
But all of this is hard to do when you are overwhelmed and when you are seeing these behaviors as a problem. This is where I want to encourage you to shift your perspective. If you can start seeing these behaviors as developmentally appropriate, as evidence of how much they are learning and growing in your capable hands, they can start to lose some of their annoying quality. We are trained by society to see these behaviors as "bad", but they aren't. They are evidence of your child's normal, healthy development, and that is something that is truly marvelous!
The thing that has helped the parents I work with most over the years in making this shift is to have an internal dialogue, something you say to yourself (never out loud!!) that brings humor to the situation and reminds you that:
- This is normal and healthy
- Both of you are doing a great job
- This is not an emergency
My personal go-to is the phrase "Nailing It".
In these situations I will take a deep breath and say to myself:
"Wow, you are really NAILING three today!"
Here are some other possibilities:
- "This is a perfect, textbook tantrum! Kicking, screaming, sobbing, all there! Perfection!"
- "Man, you have this phase of toddlerhood down!"
- "This is truly an impressive display of your new skills!"
Now, I would never say these things out loud to a child. They could really hurt a child's little soul and it would belittle the situation and their feelings. But, when said to yourself, phrases like this can help bring you back to yourself a bit, they can help you get past your annoyance enough to see that your child isn't being terrible, they are just being two. The walking, talking definition of two, and there really is nothing terrible about that. In fact, it's something to marvel at. Six short months ago they were barely talking, a year ago they were barely walking, and now they are fully capable of all of these amazing things. This is amazing, miraculous, and joyful. And saying these phrases to yourself can help shift you away from a mindset where these are behaviors to stop and more toward a mindset where these are behaviors that are signaling a need for your support and encouragement.

Millennials are poised to reshape the economy. Our unique experiences will change the ways we buy and sell, forcing companies to examine how they do business for decades to come. Goldman Sachs has created an interesting infographic that looks at some of the trends that will shape the new economy of Generation Y.
The Millennial generation is the largest in US history and as they reach their prime working and spending years, their impact on the economy is going to be huge. Millennials have come of age during a time of technological change, globalization and economic disruption. That's given them a different set of behaviors and experiences than their parents. It is the first generation of digital natives, and their affinity for technology helps shape how they shop. They are used to instant access to price comparisons, product information and peer reviews. Though they have a high affinity for the digital world, they are dedicated to wellness, devoting time and money to exercising and eating right. Their active lifestyle influences trends in everything from food and drink to fashion.

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."~Alan Watts, English philosopher
A sleepy, sluggish week and sluggish weekend makes for a sluggish checkin. But I did make some progress on my ROW80 writing list:
I did finally finish the long Scrivener tutorial. The whole task gave me a headache, and I think I deleted something (vital?) from the program and/or tutorial. While I'm waiting to hear from the developers what I did (wrong?) and how to fix it (if needed), I'll spend time this week typing up the edits. I have extra writing time in my schedule now, so I can do that.
Not so much, but I am keeping more current with my regular blogging schedule. That makes me feel good, making it easier to let go of anything that is hanging on too long. Gotta get rid of the bad karma however possible.
I updated some of my blog pages. It's fun, and it still feels selfish playtime. I'm struggling to decide on self-hosting options, so future updates may wait until that happens. I'm flexible, and I'm still translating that strategy which looks so good in my mind's eye into print.
This is now tied into my NaNoWriMo adventure. I'm planning several shorter stories rather than a messy draft of text I may never touch again. I haven't started yet because I cannot decide what to write. November is 1/3 done, so I need to step it up and just write.
A change in my work schedule added some writing chunks of time. I added those times to my calendar. A new addition is pre-planning what to work on each day. I don't know how well it will work, but the days I have followed those plans, my writing was focused and productive. Who knew planning could be so easy and helpful?

How to Pay for Your CAA Membership in One Weekend
With September right around the corner, you're probably knee-deep in back-to-school shopping and less than enthusiastic students. Though dragging your kids around the mall for new clothes, shoes and school supplies might not be your idea of a relaxing weekend, with a CAA membership it can at least be a rewarding one. In the first of our "How to pay for your Membership in one Weekend" series, we'll show you how one back-to-school weekend with the kids (and your CAA membership card) can pay for an entire year of Life-side Assistance.
Until September 3rd, CAA Members save $15 on purchases of $75 or more at the GAP Factory Store and $100 or more at the Banana Republic Factory Store. With fashionable styles for both kids and adults at already-reduced outlet pricing, refreshing their fall wardrobe at either retailer will get you some serious bang for your buck. Altogether, a combined purchase of $175 will wind up costing CAA Members just $145 – a savings of $30! Can't shop before September 3rd? Don't worry! CAA Members can save 10% on all purchases including sale merchandise year-round.
Once your little-ones (and not-so-little-ones) have their fall fashions settled, it'll be time to fit them with some new shoes for the season. Good news – at Payless ShoeSource, CAA Members save 10% on regular priced merchandise! Whether they need runners, boots or formal footwear, your discount will easily save you $10 or more on any purchase over $100; which isn't difficult to do with more than one kid in tow.
Last but not least, stop off at LensCrafters to save a whopping 30% on a new pair of fashionable eyeglasses! An annual optometrist visit might reveal slight variations in the strength of your vision, so it's important to get your students' prescriptions up-to-date to ensure their reading and focus isn't affected. Your CAA membership card will also save you 15% on lenses and frames purchased individually, so whether you're looking to update your current style or simply replace the lenses inside them, CAA can easily save Members $45 on a $150 set of complete eyewear.
With back-to-school shopping out of the way, yourexhausted and undoubtedly hungry soon-to-be students will be clamoring for some eats. Good news yet again – East Side Mario's offers a 10% discount to all cardholding CAA Members and ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT soup or salad and garlic homeloaf! Simply flash your CAA card to take an effortless, but well-earned, $5 off a final bill of $50. Altogether, you and your family saved $90 thanks to your CAA membership, and we're still on day one!
With your back-to-school clothes shopping out of the way, it's time to throw on your bathing suits and enjoy what's left of the summer heat! With fall right around the corner, Wild Water Kingdom will soon be closing down for the season. But with a CAA membership, a family of four can save $30 on admission and earn CAA Dollars® when you pre-purchase your tickets through CAA Tickets Online.
With roughly $90 in savings for Saturday and $30 for Sunday, your CAA membership has the potential to save you hundreds of dollars before school begins – that's enough for a basic membership plus an Associate! If you are still on the fence about joining, there's never been a more perfect time to be a Member. With these and many more daily savings opportunities arriving regularly, your CAA membership can really pay for itself year after year.

Hamstring injuries are one of the most common injuries in sports such as sprinting, and AFL football. The good news is that many of these injuries are preventable with some basic strength exercises which are done pre-season (and often throughout the season as well).
The simplest, most effective exercise is called the 'Nordic Curl'.
The Nordic Curl can be performed with or without a partner. The legs/ankles are secured and the athlete slowly leans forward, using the hamstrings to control the movement. When the athlete can't control the movement any longer, they reach out and 'catch' themselves on the ground.
So what research do we have to support the use of this exercise?
- In Danish Football (soccer), Players completed 2-3 sets of 5-12 repetitions, 1-3 times per week for 10 weeks in the preseason, and then continued once per week during the season. This lead to about an 85% reduction in recurrent hamstring injuries and 60% reduction in first time injuries. (Peterson, 2011)
- In amateur Australian Rules Football, players did 5 sessions only of Nordic curls - 3 pre-season and 2 during the season (they were very big sessions!). Hamstring injuries were reduced by about 70%. (Gabbe, 2006)
- In Australian Rules Football, poor eccentric hamstring strength is associated with increased risk of injury during the season. Nordic Curls increase eccentric strength. (Opar, 2014)
- A smaller study, but Norwegian soccer players used Nordic Curls for 10 weeks, with 2-3 sets of 8-12 weeks. This resulted in a reduction in hamstring injuries of about 50-60% (Engebretsen, 2008)
Practically, with athletes I work with, we use Nordic Curls roughly twice a week for at least 10-12 weeks in the pre-season, and then once a week as 'maintenance' for the rest of the season.
Of course Nordic Curls aren't a silver bullet for the prevention of hamstring injuries. There are several other risk factors that are modifiable. However they are an almost compulsory inclusion in sports with a high risk of hamstring injury, such as sprinting, Australian Rules Football and Soccer.

Lucignolo has soft lines that recall those of the stem of some bluebells, but at the apex, instead of the flower, there is a powerful source of light. It is a true table sculpture in which wood is the protagonist, but leaves room for aluminium that hinges the base to the stem, supports it and allows adjusting its height. It is an object designed to stay on a desk, but can be placed on furniture with soft, clean lines or in particular corners of the home to create a pleasantly natural and harmonious atmosphere. In addition to ash, Lucignolo can also be made in durmast, black walnut or wengé, so as to adapt the color of the wood that composes it to that of the furniture on which it will be placed or the environment in which it will be featured.
In 2018, a maximum of 6 numbered pieces will be produced of Lucignolo.

Responsiveness: This is the most important, and it is always the biggest issue that affects your trading. I need my charts to work quickly, no sluggish price movement, and I need my charts to move smoothly at ALL times. Many charts will work fine in slow times, but just when you need them to be working the most (when the market is moving quickly) they can jam up and freeze. Trading is difficult enough without your charts freezing, so this must be as efficient as can be. A good trick is to test out your charts during a news event. Thursday morning at 830am EST open your charts and watch the jobless claims number released… do your charts freeze? If they do, make sure you upgrade your computer or switch charting providers.
Stability: You need to be connected to the market at all times, and lack of consistency with your connection is a close second to responsiveness. Day traders need to know that they can count on their charts staying in connection with the live market at all times. If you have inconsistent connection it may be your office internet connection as well, so make sure you explore all reasons for the lack of connection.
Easy to use: If you fumble with your charts because they simply aren't easy to use its going to make your job as a day trader much more difficult. I have found in the past some charting packages never considered the trader using them when they developed the layout of all the controls. If you struggle to use your charts efficiently because it just doesn't work right they way you need take the time to research other options that are developed with efficient use in mind. Remember, little things that slow you down as a trader will increase the number of mistakes you make and will cause you to lose confidence, and that needs to be avoided at all costs. Get yourself a set of charts that are easy to use for YOU.
Low Cost: 10 years ago charts cost me more than my rent payment each month, I'm not joking, so it was a major commitment if you wanted to day trade multiple markets. If you've been trading more than 3 years you remember when we used to purchase market data individually from the exchange for each market you wanted to trade… not anymore. These days we get ALL the data we need from one source and it's very cheap. In regards to your charts, you should not have to pay very much for the best charts. With the competition growing by the day for retail trader' business, the market for charting platforms has driven the costs down exponentially. You don't need to pay a lot of money for great charts, just do your research and look for what matters most.
Indicator Development: We all know that technical indicators don't make a day trader successful, but the right indicators can certainly help. I'm a believer that indicators are only useful when they save my time and limit my mistakes. You may not need to develop indicators right now, but if you work with a charting package that is well known for easy indicator development than you will always have the opportunity to use the technical indicators you desire in the future. You never know where your day trading will take you, and it would be a shame to learn on a set of charts that cannot easily be used with new indicators.
Use of Computer resources: A very important factor you need to know before you choose a charting package is how much of your computer's resources will it be using. Have you ever seen a charting package that uses so much RAM that your computer can barely keep up? Many charting packages are not designed with the end user in mind, so when you're shopping around for charts make sure you use them on your computer and then press control+alt+delete and look how much your computer is working to power your charts. Also ask your charting provider to tell you what the minimum computer requirements are for the charts they provide, this will give you the ability to compare to other charting providers.
Customer Support: We can't forget that you will certainly have questions when you begin learning to use your charts. Does your charting provider have technical support? If they don't how will you get help? If they do, is it email or phone based? I have found that the best customer service is strictly emailed-based. I would stay away from the 'support ticket' system because it has too many moving parts, and the phone system sounds like a good thing, but in reality you end up with busy signals and waiting for your voicemail messages to be returned. The phone is inefficient for a support team, so look for easy ways to communicate for tech support, you will be thankful when you come across an question you can't find in the manual.

Hot lesbian love at BestOfShylaStylez Puba
If you are in the mood for some genuine blonde on blonde action, than I recommend you to watch the latest gallery of Shyla Stylez videos, cause only here you can find the real action and the explicit contents. There is no way you will find some place else something better than here, cause, let's admit, these two amazing blonde babes are the most extraordinary ever, not to mention that they are not prude at all, specially when it comes to sex or anything related to this field. These two beauties are going at the same gym class and they have planned to go out sometime, know each other better or let's say in some other circumstances.
So they went out to have dinner, where they have found out that they own a lot of things in common, like their passion for the erotic things and sexual ones. So with all the talking about all sorts of hot things, they both got so fired up that they went home and they started to make out right in the living room, Shyla offering her pussy to be tasted by the other busty babe with so much savor. I love them both and you will too! If you liked this cuties click here and have fun watching another gorgeous chick revealing her perfectly shaped body in front of the cam!

Sad news coming out of the gaming world today. Telltale Games, developers of the acclaimed Walking Dead video game series, have announced that they are winding down for closure; with only 25 staff members staying on to complete the studios obligations.
The company were one hailed as pioneers of the choice-driven narrative experience since 2004. The news comes following the release of a number of projects which failed to meet the lofty sales expectations of the struggling company. All upcoming games have now been officially cancelled, including the two remaining episodes of the highly anticipated The Walking Dead: The Final Season. The 25 employees that remain are said to be finishing up work on the Netflix-endorsed Minecraft project.
In an official press release, Pete Hawley (CEO of Telltale Games) stated: "It's been an incredibly difficult year for Telltale Games as we worked to set the company on a new course. Unfortunately, we ran out of time trying to get there. We released some of our best content this year and received a tremendous amount of positive feedback, but ultimately, that did not translate to sales. With a heavy heart, we watch our friends leave today to spread our brand of storytelling across the games industry".
While the developer was once a critical darling, they have faced a fair amount of disparagement in recent years. Fans and journalists have taken aim at their games' notoriously janky engine and oversaturation, which has seemed to lessen the charm of their recent outings.
Despite a few angry posts on social media, it has been reported that the layoffs have been handled in a respectable manner. The Verge reported: "By all accounts, the layoffs were handled as professionally and gently as possible. Those who had lost their jobs were paid out until the end of the year, and Telltale Games planned a job fair for them to meet and speak with recruiters. People were not denied severance or escorted from the building by security, but given time to gather their things and say goodbye. The remaining staff was given the rest of the day off so that they could spend time with their departing co-workers; they gathered at a pub in downtown San Rafael."
There's no denying this a difficult situation for those impacted, but a small glimmer of happiness can be taken from the way that the industry has banded together to offer support for the outgoing employees. Fans of the companies' work have bombarded both the official social media outlets and personal pages with gratitude for the incredible stories they crafted.
Aid has also come from fellow devotees who caught wind of the closure. Both Crytek and Naughty Dog have come forward with job opportunities, and even Ubisoft have stepped up to offer meetings with former staff to discuss future work.
It's always sad when a story like this drops. Our thoughts go out to those affected, and we wish them all the best in the future. Thank you for all the great games you have given us.

Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone: The All-in-One Drone
It is very rare that a manufacturer is able to put together all the in-demand features and functionalities of a certain product. The same is true for drone manufacturers. To improve a drone's battery life, some features have to be left out, which is also true when it comes to improving its speed.
The good news is that this is not always the case. With all the technological advancements we have accomplished today, drones have also been upgraded. One such drone is the Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone.
Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone
Most powerful drones leave out the basic functions, such as altitude hold, to be able to increase their speed. This makes them inappropriate for children and beginner flyers.
Although comparable to professional drones on the market, you won't have to sacrifice this feature if you choose the Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone. Let us take a look at what it offers to know if this is the drone for you.
Here are the best features of the Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone:
- Remarkable Design
The first thing that you will notice with this camera drone is how sleek it looks. Its black and orange colors make it stand out from the rest. It is made of high-quality and durable materials that not only make it shiny and cool but also long-lasting.
Its body is one big chunk without distracting tiny, fragile pieces that could easily be broken or removed during crash landings. The propellers are directly connected to the body of the drone, and the camera is also built-in and secured.
This drone does not come with a lot of screws, making this drone look flawless. The Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone is more than just a good-looking drone. Its features and functionalities definitely live up to its beautiful design.
- Multi-functional
Not all drones are created equal, but this drone from Force1 seems to have it all. It is a camera drone, FPV drone, WiFi drone, and racing drone in one. It connects easily with any Android or iOS device, so the user can capture high-quality photos and videos using its built-in 1080p camera.
This drone also has incredible transmission and connection, so it is able to provide first-person viewing experience (FPV) to the user. The transmission of the view is almost real-time, so it can be used for basic surveillance and other similar purposes.
Because it has a powerful motor, this drone can also be used as a racing drone. It can fly as fast as real racing drones because of its triple-threat flight control feature. However, it can still be used by beginners because the manufacturer did not leave out the headless mode and altitude hold functions.
- Long Battery Life
The package comes with a bonus 7.4V 1800mAh battery with electronic speed control to maximize its life. In total, it provides the user with 30 minutes worth of flying time with its two LiPo batteries that are both rechargeable.
The brushless motor also helps preserve the battery life of the drone. Its charger is also a UL-Certified Balance Charger ensuring safety and quality.
- Quality Assured
Manufacturers boast the quality of Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone. They are based in Seattle and said that they had checked the quality of each individual drones, from the basic parts down to the manual, testing each drone in-house to ensure that they are at peak performance before being sold.
- Versatility
Most drones are only either for professionals or for beginners. Some say they are for different kinds of users, but this drone is one of the few that really are. It has a combination of features including flying and stability as well as one-key take-off, landing, and return functions.
For those who want to take their drone flying to another level, the speed settings could be adjusted to give them some challenge and more excitement.
It is perfect for taking selfies, and even for providing professional photo and video coverage. It can be used with a mobile device, or it can be used with only the remote control. The possibilities are endless with the Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone.
- Day and Night Flying
This drone is not only for day flying. It has LED lights that illuminate well to give visual pleasure to the users and spectators. These lights also ensure that it will not get easily lost even if it goes as far as 500 meters.
- GPS Technology
This drone also has a GPS tracking system in place allowing it to easily locate the controller and go back with just a click of a button.
- Powerful Motor
This drone uses the brushless motor technology that not only uses the batteries efficiently but also keeps the drone flying at top speed. It allows the drone to fly as fast as possible without heating up too much.
- Superb Customer Service
Force1 provides top notch customer service. They have 100% satisfaction and money-back guarantee. They also have 24-hour monitoring waiting for buyers to provide feedback, and responds to customers as quickly as possible.
Having a Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone in your arsenal offers you the following advantages:
- Child-friendly and beginner-friendly drone
- Superb and customer service
- 100% satisfaction and money-back guarantee
- Propellers hold up against crash landings
- Good value for money
Then again, it also has a couple of disadvantages:
- Does not have propeller guards
- A bit pricier than most
Summary of the Features
The Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone is one of the few real multi-functional and versatile drones on the market. Its sleek appearance is matched by its awesome features, which include long battery life, high-quality parts, and flying stability.
This drone is perfect for day and night flying with its powerful motor and LED lights. Although its a bit on the expensive side, it is still a great purchase because of Force1's good customer service and responsiveness to the needs of all buyers.
Comparison with a Similar Product
This drone from Force1 can be compared with the Holy Stone GPS FPV RC Drone HS100. They are in the same price range, and they have almost the same features. Which do you think will be hailed as the better drone?
For starters, both the one from Force1 and the one from Holy Stone have GPS and one-key return capabilities. They are also similar when it comes to their headless mode, reliable flying stability, and 500-meter range of transmission.
However, the Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone has a better built-in camera that is 1080p HD compared to that of Holy Stone GPS FPV RC Drone HS100, which is only 720P. The one from Force 1 also has a longer combined battery life amounting to 30 minutes compared to HS100's 15-minute flying time.
The Verdict
It is easy to claim that a product has it all. However, the real test is when it is used and quality-tested. The quality of each Force1 F200W Shadow Camera Drone has been tested in-house and has been tested and retested by actual drone flyers. As a result, it can really be proven that it is the best among the best multi-functional and versatile drones on the market.

Ban "To Train Up A Child" -- A book that encourages child abuse.
This petition had 295 supporters
Michael and Debi Pearl's controversial book, "To Train Up a Child" encourages child abuse. Unfortunately, this controversial book has and continues to become popular. This book twists words written in the bible and encourages parents to use objects such as plumbing rods, switches and belts to discipline children. A child has died due to the fact that her parents were following this book. Her sister was in critical condition and internal organs were damaged. Child and animal abuse are and will be the result of this book for individuals who read it and do not have the logic or compassion to understand this book is nonsense.
Let's join hands and petition Amazon.com and other book vender to pull this book from in-store and online shelves. Let's do this for the innocent victims...the children, animals, etc. Compassion is the way to raise a child -- NOT ABUSE.
A direct quote from the book:
"There is no number (of licks) that can be given. It would be better to administer more licks that are less forceful than to administer few licks that hurt severely. It is much more effective to administer chastisement or punishment in a slow thoughtful fashion. Our goal is to cause the child to voluntarily surrender his will. We want to impress upon him the severity of his disobedience. It takes time and thoughtfulness for the child to come to repentance. I have told a child I was going to give him 10 licks. I count out loud as I go. After about three licks, leaving him in his position, I would stop and remind him what this is all about. I would continue slowly, still counting, stop again and tell him that I know it hurts and I wish I didn't have to do it but that it is for his own good. Then I would continue slowly. Pretending to forget the count, I would again stop at about eight and ask him the number. Have him subtract eight from ten, (a little homeschooling) and continue with the final two licks. Then I would have him stand in front of me and ask him why he got the spanking. If his answer showed that he was rebellious and defiant, he would get several more licks. Again he would be questioned as to his offense. If he showed total submission, we put it all behind us, but if he were still rebellious, we would continue until he gave over his will."
This book also encourages parents to "switch" a baby as young as 7 months old on his bare leg as much as 7-8 times for crying and getting upset.
This book is an outrage and in pure violation of basic human rights. It is abundantly clear that the authors of this book have absolutely no understanding of early childhood development or psychology. Leave parenting skills to be taught by true experts -- not abusive sociopaths like the Pearls. The brainwaves of a child literally change when he/she experiences violence in any form during crucial developmental years. This could be in the form of yelling or physical violence.
The Pearls have registered their organization as a non-profit, but let's remember that non-profit organizations are supposed to work for the greater good. This book does far from that.

The Goon
Comics are a unique medium for me, because I invest a lot of money into them. This means that I generally only buy comics if there is a wide consensus on how good the series is. 'The Goon' was one of those comics that I heard about, but never received a consistent positive as a lot of other series. I thought the tone and concept was interesting but put it on the list of books I'd want to give a shot, but probably never would.
One day I saw someone selling 10 Goon trades at a discount while perusing Kijiji. I jumped at the deal, thinking it'd be a decent book. Little did I know that the book would be absolutely amazing. The Goon is one of those books that is hard to describe, but I shall try my best.
At the surface, I can see a lot of readers getting turned off by the immaturity that the book is steeped in. Cheap shots at easy targets (like the Twilight saga) and crude potty humor give The Goon a surface wash of MAD magazine with dark humor. That being said, the books are often genuinely hilarious, and is chock full of crazy and wacky moments. What is great about The Goon, is how unapologetic it is, which shows a candid and creatively fulfilled artist doing exactly what he wants.
As you get deeper into the book, you realize how smart and filled with pathos the comic is. When writer/artist Eric Powell gets into the narrative of the comic, everything seems to shift. A master of tragedy, Powell contrasts the silliness of the book with powerful and touching stories of torment. The Goon is at its heart an exploration of tragedy, and sets up a world where the wounded try to get through their daily lives.
Powell's artwork at face value is distinct from most, and is pretty recognizable. With an affinity to the 30s style settings and cult-classic references, Powell's work always felt influenced by pin up girl tattoos and MAD caricature artists. Also, Powell tends to draw ugly people, which is much harder to pull off than people give credit for. There is a big difference between a character that looks ugly because it was drawn poorly, and an ugly character that was drawn with purpose. Powell is the perfect example of the latter.
What Powell does with this art is probably the most impressive aspect of The Goon. A storyteller through and through, Eric Powell truly understands the medium and uses his art to enhance all of the contrasting tones. The art ebbs and flows with the mood of the story, which guides the reader from the silly immature gags to the heart-wrenching moments of despair..
When I picked up The Goon, I went on a reading binge that lasted about a week, and I think this is probably the best way to read it. The book is already paced well between character exploration and levity, so waiting months between books makes getting to the soul of the book kind of sparse. On the plus side, there are currently 14 Goon trade paperbacks available. Also, it should be mentioned that Powell is doing his best to get The Goon movie off the ground, and released a great trailer showing what it would look like. Unfortunately, I hadn't read 'The Goon' until after the movie kickstarter was completed, but the trailer is so good that I am definitely keeping an eye on it.

I Let Go
Say this prayer throughout your day and know that God is eternal and ageless. You come from God and therefore must experience the same. It is your birthright to be young and beautiful for all time - young at heart AND young in BODY. – What a beautiful prayer to say every day and in every moment that you have. Trust the power within to create the beauty that you so long for. I hate when people say, "it's what's on the inside that counts." Who said that? I've often thought that it was an ugly woman who was tired of the way she looked and so justified it and gave up on her power to transform and so she put this ridiculous statement out in the world which on inside us women do not like. I don't like it because, as I am sure you feel as well, I want to be young and beautiful for the rest of my life. I don't want to be all crinkly. It is in our DNA to remain youthful for as long as we want, so why not learn how and the hell with "it's what's on the inside that counts." Face it, women and I'm sure some men, want to be beautiful and young forever. Instead of going around beating the drum of we can't why not spread the good news that we can?! Continue to say this simple prayer as often as you can and say it with a smile, with eagerness knowing that God is working its magic on you.

NFL Week 13: Sunday Night Football Steelers vs Chargers
It's an AFC showdown! The fourth seed Steelers and fifth seed Chargers are facing off at primetime on Sunday night in what will be another possible playoff preview this week. The game will pit two 2004 draft QB's against one another. Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers are two of the longest-tenured, most successful QBs in the league today and both are determined to get their teams into the playoffs, so this will be one of the most heated matchups that we have seen all season. You won't want to miss out on the action here, so head over to our NFL sportsbook and make your picks now!
LA's Philip Rivers is coming off a 45-10 win last week against the Arizona Cardinals in which he set an NFL record with 25 consecutive completions in a single game. Overall, Rivers was 28 for 29 in that game and threw zero interceptions, giving him a completion percentage of 96.6., which is also an NFL single-game record (with a minimum of 20 attempts).
Against the Steelers, Rivers will look to carry over some of the success from last week into this one. He has lots of weapons on the outside, but his favorite target is wideout Keenan Allen, who had 7 catches for 72 yards and one TD last week.
Chargers Head Coach Anthony Lynn has a lot of praise for Rivers, even though they appear to get in heated conversations on the sidelines.
"It's our second year together, and I've never wavered from what I believe in how this team will look," Lynn said. "I would think (Rivers) has a pretty good understanding of how to win football games.
The bad news for the Chargers is that RB Melvin Gordon had a right knee injury last week that appears to be serious. If he is out, Chargers will have to rely on Austin Ekeler and rookies Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome to run the ball. They will need those three to be in top form if they hope to rack up wins here in the final stretch. The Chargers have not made the playoffs since 2013.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is coming off a tough loss last week to the Broncos, so they will be looking to rebound.
The Steelers have relied all season on QB Rothlisberger and their two main WRs, Antonio Brown and Juju Smith-Schuster. Brown has 10 TDs in this last nine games and 1,105 yards and 12 TDs in his last 10 home games. Meanwhile, Smith-Schuster acts as a great second option for Rothlisberger. He has 1,972 career yards, which over his first 25 NFL games is good enough for 4th most in league history. Last week, Smith-Schuster collected 189 yards against the Broncos.
Steelers RB James Connor also had a big game in last week's loss, tallying 93 yards from the line of scrimmage. In the previous five home games, he has 579 scrimmage yards and six rushing touchdowns.
Rothlisberger will be attempting to throw for 300 plus yards for the fourth straight game. He is second in league with 3,664 passing yards.
The Steelers lead the all-time series 22-7 and have won three out of the last four meetings with the Chargers. However, it was the Chargers who came away with the win the last time these two teams played in Pittsburgh back in 2012.

ETV Marathi's Crorepati eyes double bonanza in Season II
MUMBAI: Viacom 18 took its first bold step in the regional space after acquiring a clutch of ETV channels by introducing one of India's biggest and boldest non-fiction shows on its Marathi channel. Thus, Kaun Banega Crorepati became Kon Hoeel Marathi Crorepati on ETV Marathi. Now back for a second run, just four months after the last season ended, the channel is looking at increasing its cash inflow as well as eyeballs from the flagship show.
The second season will see Sachin Khedekar back as host but facing not one, but two contestants as the theme this year is about couples or jodis. The prize money has also been doubled to Rs 2 crore. "The dynamic of two people changes a lot of things. These two people may be anyone in a family," says BIG Synergy MD Siddhartha Basu.
A huge marketing campaign had rolled out on TV and radio about four weeks ago emphasising on the number 'two' that is the theme.
The print campaign will strike on 13 January, the day the show launches. A digital app is expected to roll out soon after the launch of the show that will try to engage the younger audiences through social media. With the response it received from season 1, this time the channel has gone overboard on its marketing, spending nearly about Rs 4 to Rs 5 crore.
Airing on Monday and Tuesday from 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm, it will replace two shows on these two days, which will now air four times a week. The current season is expected to run for three months with 36 episodes in all. According to sources, the cost of production is approximately Rs 8-10 crore for season two.
The studio set up was created in Film City in December and six episodes have been shot so far with average shoot hours daily totting up to 12 hours.
Last season, KHMC garnered about 3 TRPs and this time the channel is looking at starting off at that and doubling it amongst Marathi speaking audiences. "It is worthy to say that nonfiction shows don't really get such high ratings in languages," says Viacom 18 EVP and business head Anuj Poddar. Last year KHMC doubled the channel's overall ratings.
Conversations are on with a slew of advertisers and sponsors, with Lever brand Clinic plus already coming on board as the presenting sponsor and the target is to reach about five to six advertisers, this time. The average per 10 second rate for commercials has been pegged at Rs 70,000 that is about 60 to 70 per cent higher than last year.
Although only Marathi speaking people are allowed to participate in the show, it has seen a 50 per cent increase in the participants claims the channel.
"The show is a very generous one. Our average pay out per episode is about Rs 6.5 lakh," says Basu. "With growing viewership not just broadcasters but also advertisers and sponsors are also putting their money into such formats. A broadcaster takes it as a game changer and it is a huge investment for him as well."
The targets it has set for itself are high but will the channel be able to live up to its own as well as the people's expectations? We will soon find out as it launches this Monday.

It's a puppy Alaskan Malamute, a boy born on Nov. 15, that was just "introduced" to the media. There should be an official release shortly. The name was voted on by fans, students, and faculty and administrators. Word is the other two finalists were Spirit, the name of the previous live mascot, and Sundodger, which was once the nickname for the UW's sports teams before Huskies took over. Spirit was due to be retired last year then suffered a season-ending injury when it stepped in a hole chasing a squirrel, suffering a shoulder injury in the process, an all-too-apt analogy for a season gone wrong. Also, for those who have asked, the "weasel" logo is being phased out. It is no longer being produced on any UW merchandise. There will apparently be a new logo at some point, though there is no date for that. For now, the block W is the major mark. UPDATE — Here is the official release on "Dubs" as well as a link to his own web page. Comments

RE/MAX and the Children's Miracle Network
Several people have asked me "What is the Children's Miracle Network?" when they see the "Miracle Home" sign rider on my For Sale signs. Those sign riders are to let people know that when they buy this property, they are also helping to support the Children's Miracle Network.
In fact it's not just homes. A portion of ANY and ALL Real Estate Leasing or Sales or any Business Sale Transactions that we do, go to support the Children's Miracle Network.
RE/MAX Associates have been supporters of Children's Miracle Network since 1992. RE/MAX, a leading real estate franchisor, has arrived at an amazing milestone of: $100 million dollars raised over the past 18 years for Children's Miracle Network, which raises funds for more than 170 pediatric hospitals. In doing so, RE/MAX became one of the top three Children's Miracle Network donors of all time.
The funds raised by Harry Logan of RE/MAX executives realty in Winnipeg, MB go to the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba to purchase specialty medical equipment and help treat children needing expert medical care. "Supporting our local Children's Miracle Network hospital is part of the RE/MAX spirit. Our agents are immensely proud to support Winnipeg Children's Hospital", said Harry Logan. "We all feel it is important to give back to this community in which we earn our living and raise our families."
The donations from hundreds of RE/MAX offices and thousands of RE/MAX Associates amount to millions of dollars each year for children's hospitals. RE/MAX primarily raises funds through the Miracle Home® program where Associates make a contribution to Children's Miracle Network with each closed transaction. RE/MAX offices and agents also sponsor golf tournaments, host art auctions and organize a variety of other fundraising activities throughout the year.
"When you take into account that the real estate industry was hit harder than any other by the economic recession, it's overwhelming that RE/MAX Associates raised $7 million for Children's Miracle Network in 2009 alone, bringing their total to a landmark $100 million," said Scott Burt, president and CEO, Children's Miracle Network.
"Knowing that children's hospitals have been impacted deeply by the downturn in philanthropic giving, RE/MAX Associates worked harder than ever to support Children's Miracle Network and the children in our communities," said Vinnie Tracey, president, RE/MAX International, Inc.
About Children's Miracle Network
Children's Miracle Network is an international non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children's hospitals. Countless individuals, 90 organizations and 400 media partners unite with Children's Miracle Network hospitals to help sick and injured kids in local communities. Donations to Children's Miracle Network create miracles by supplying life saving medical equipment, funding medical care, research and education that saves and improves the lives of 17 million children each year.
Below is a video from the Children's Miracle Network to RE/MAX associates thanking us for our support and contributions. Every time I see it it makes me so proud to be a part of that.
Thank You for making it possible for us to support such a worthy cause!

Israel must 'mend fences' to end isolation: US
US defense secretary Leon Panetta yesterday urged Israel to try and end its increasing regional "isolation" by repairing diplomatic ties with Egypt and Turkey and renewing peace efforts with the Palestinians.world Updated: Dec 03, 2011 10:57 IST
US defense secretary Leon Panetta on Friday urged Israel to try and end its increasing regional "isolation" by repairing diplomatic ties with Egypt and Turkey and renewing peace efforts with the Palestinians.
"Unfortunately, over the past year, we've seen Israel's isolation from its traditional security partners in the region grow, and the pursuit of a comprehensive Middle East peace has effectively been put on hold," he said.
But Panetta added in a speech that Israel was not entirely to blame for its difficult position and the US ally was the subject of an "international campaign" designed to isolate the country.
The US defense chief said he understood Israel's anxieties over turmoil in the Middle East but said the Arab spring offered an opportunity for the country to forge a more secure place in the region.
It was crucial for Israel to reach out and "mend fences" with countries such as Turkey, Egypt and Jordan that he said share an interest in regional stability, said Panetta, who issued similar appeals in a visit to the region in October.
He said he was "troubled" over the direction of Turkish-Israeli relations and called on both countries "to do more to put their relationship back on track."
As for Egypt, he said the United States shared Israel's concerns about security in the Sinai peninsula and over the recent attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
But the best response was to step up "communication and cooperation with Egyptian authorities" instead of "stepping away from them," he said.
Israel needed "to lean forward on efforts to achieve peace with the Palestinians," Panetta said at an event organized by the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for the Middle East, a Washington think-tank.
After his speech, Panetta took questions from the audience and was asked what concrete steps Israel needed to take to promote peace with the Palestinians.
"Just get to the damn table," he said, using his trademark colorful language to call on Israel to return to the negotiating table.
"The problem right now is we can't get them to the damn table."
While appealing to Israel to reach out to its regional neighbors, Panetta reaffirmed that President Barack Obama's administration was determined "to safeguard Israel's security."
The Pentagon chief also pledged Washington would ensure Israel continues to enjoy a clear military edge by providing the Jewish state with sophisticated missile defenses and new stealthy F-35 fighter jets.
He vowed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, saying the Obama administration had not ruled out possible military action.
But he argued the best approach was to focus on diplomacy and sanctions rather than military intervention to persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, calling armed action "a last resort."
He repeated his view that a strike against Iran would only delay its nuclear project by one to two years and would run the risk of "unintended consequences" for the region.
Amid speculation Israel may take pre-emptive action to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, the US defense secretary has voiced misgivings about bombing Iran in recent public remarks.
But for the first time Friday, Panetta -- the former director of the CIA -- suggested Iran's underground nuclear facilities might survive air strikes.
"Frankly, some of those targets are very difficult to get at," he said.
Analysts have often pointed out that Iran has sought to hide sensitive nuclear sites in underground facilities, and Western officials privately acknowledge that the hidden targets would present a challenge to any military attack.
Panetta also reiterated his view that a strike against Iran could benefit the regime in Tehran at a moment when it is "off-balance" and out of step with popular uprisings sweeping the region.

iPad - what will it mean?
Unless you have been in a media vacuum you will have heard about Apple's new iPad product, and I'm sure you'll have differing opinions ranging from "iWant" to "what would I use that for". I have a lot of thoughts buzzing around my head about this, but the one that rises to the top consistently is iWant, and here is why:
I think this is the first device that hails the future of computing, we have been stuck with legacy computing for several generations now, why are we still using a keyboard and mouse? Why do we need a file system, a my documents/pictures/movies folder, why do we need a folder system at all? Surely we can launch an application to view our word documents? Surely we can launch a photoviewer program to look through our photos?
The iPad will introduce computers to people who are afraid of having to know the file system of a computer, it will allow users to create and work more effectively as the computer takes up less of your focus, it cuts away the guff we put up with because of legacy.
The iPhone began this, the iPad continues it, what will be next?
I hope other manufacturers get the idea and computing moves forward and becomes focussed on the user experience, not the engineers ideas. If this happens we will truly be in a renaissance period.

Why the EU Raided the London Offices of Rupert Murdoch's Fox Networks
The London offices of Rupert Murdoch's Fox Networks were raided by European Union antitrust regulators as part of a probe of the distribution of sports media rights.
The inspections were carried out in several EU countries at companies related to broadcasting rights for various sports events, the European Commission said in a statement late Tuesday. Officials are expected to stay through Wednesday and possibly Thursday at the West London offices of Fox Networks Group, according to the Daily Telegraph, which first reported the raid.
The probe comes at a difficult time for 21st Century Fox (FOX), the owner of Fox Networks, which spent months trying to gain U.K. and EU approval to purchase Sky, the big European pay-TV service. EU regulators approved the acquisition last April, but U.K. regulators continue to assess it as part of a separate media plurality review. Comcast (CMCSA) topped Murdoch's offer for Sky with a $31 billion bid in February.
Fox said it's cooperating with the officials. Antitrust raids by EU regulators are a first step in investigating suspected violations and don't signal guilt, the commission said.
The raids may be an offshoot of a long-running EU probe into pay-TV rights. Regulators have been taking aim at industry contracts that prevent people from viewing movies and TV programs outside the country in which they are sold, focusing on Sky's deals with major motion picture studios including Walt Disney, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Brothers unit, Comcast Corp.'s NBCUniversal, and Sony Pictures.
While the EU pay-TV probe has been simmering for years, the U.K. review of the Sky deal could be resolved within weeks as regulators prepare to turn in their final report of government ministers by May 1.
Last week, Fox offered to spin off Sky News as an independent company or sell it to Disney to address lawmakers' concerns about having to much influence in British Media.
Murdoch's 21st Century Fox has also agreed to sell most of its entertainment assets, including its stake in Sky to Disney (DIS) in a $52.4 billion deal.

Candor, Jessica Saunders
Hailing from Greencastle, Indiana, Jessica Saunders began her studies at Herron School of Art and Design and graduated with a B.F.A. in painting and a minor in art history. Saunders already has strong professional experience working as a graphic designer with Sincerely Hers, Inc. in Bainbridge, IN.
This month, the Speck Gallery hosts her very first solo exhibition, "Candor." Her work features intimate images of linens and fabrics captured in various media. Her oil work boasts meticulous detail in a large-scale format. Her artist statement, which can be read here, states,
"We were promised freedom, but we became enslaved. We were promised intimacy but found only isolation. We were promised excitement, but we eventually got bored. We were promised 'adult entertainment,' yet we became increasingly juvenile."
Pictured below is a piece named, "Promised Freedom" which captures not only her visual style and techniques as she studies and portrays fabric, but also her statement.
The show hangs through April 27, 2018. Saunders continues to paint out of her home studio and work as a graphic designer. More information on her and her work can be found through the links below.

text: I love the flavors of Mexican cooking. I fell in love with so many flavors of this country when I lived in Los Angeles and learned to cook. I especially loved going into the supermarkets there and trying out all the chilies, tomatillos, and other ethnic spices for cooking. Sometimes, my taste buds yearn for those flavors. Unfortunately, living on Cape Cod, those truly authentic flavors and ingredients are just unavailable. Today I'm sharing my Mexican Tomato Soup.
